Hi, I'm new with Android devices and I'm trying to root a Google TV device.

The link of the Box is: dx.com /p/gv-10-android-4-0-multi-media-player-w-wifi-hdmi-usb-sd-lan-black-4gb-142439?item=7

I tried to update the firmware to this new one, but I couldn't use SU command.
Have you some step-to-step tutorial?

If my questions are ridiculous, please sorry, but I'm learning about it yet.

Hi,

your device is ATV-108... But make sure it's f16ref (m3)..

Fist, go to V-Play download section and download DeviceChecker to make sure you have f16device. Copy it to usb stick and install it via AppInstaller. If it says f16ref, from my page you download f16ref (rev 2) firmwares, if it says c03ref, you download c03ref (ver 1) firmwares.

On page firmwares are sorted by date with newest on top. Download ZIP package and extract all files from zip archive to SDCARD. Insert sdcard in device, go to Upgrade application -> Local Upgrade -> select /sdcard/update.zip file and press next -> Reboot device and install upgrade.

You don't need to have superuser to upgrade your device (my firmwares are built from Amlogic sources, and installed as official Visson ones).

When you install my fw, if you want to use Superuser, before you have to open Superuser app and click Okay on changelog window. Before that su will not work.

Note: Make sure to install correct firmware (c03ref/f16ref). If you install wrong firmware on f16ref.... it's little tricky to get it working again...

I have upgraded the box with yours firmware and now the led is green but the screen is blank.

I have done the upgrade with reset procedure, and I have done two times, but the result is the same, black screen.

any solutions?

thanks!

Nunzio

p.s. sorry for my english

Hi, your device is Refee AML8726M3 device (f16ref), but my fw is not working on that device. I would suggest you to contact your seller to send link to latest firmware for your device. After that, try to install it. If unsuccessful, PM me with the link to fw...

Same problem here.
Is Refee AML8726M3 device (f16ref) different from the atv-108 rev2?
Is it possible to 'cook' some ROM for this device?

I use cifs manager to play videos from my network, with MX Player.
This is the only player that uses the hardware acceleration to decode videos through network. I have try almost every one.

So, my question is, is there any way to mount a network share, like cifs manager does? Or there will be modules for cifs manager, to work properly with ICS and ATV-108?

Another issue with this firmware, if I put the device to standby, with remote controller, I have to turn off the power, and back again to get it back in action.

Best regards

Errr..... have you actually tried using V.play networking? When share is created in V.play networking, you click on it, content of shared folder will open in FileBrowser and for movie reproduction you can use either stock player or any other player... V.play networking is replacement app for cifs manager.

On next reboot of device, V.play networking needs to be started first to mount saved network shares.

Mounted network shares are mounted to /NetShares, symlinked to /mnt/NetShares and can be accessed like any other local file.

About power on/off issue, aware of the problem, working on the solution.

right now I'm confused myself... Have to check with Visson, seems ATV-108 rev2 (f16ref) is renamed to ATV-102...

Will have that info on Monday probably.

So stane, did you check if it's really ATV-102 ou ATV-108?
My unit is not totally bricked I think

1) Normal 'boot', both led's dont flash, no TV output.
2) reset+Boot, led flash and card is read but TV-OUT is scrambled. Haven't checked hdmi output yet but I can distinguish some screen being updated.
I was using a SDHC 8Gb card. Will try with a 1Gb tonight. I'll post feedback later.

Btw, where can I get Visson 'official' ATV-108 firmware? Company website is a total letdown for me...

Your SDHC is the problem. Try to use smaller non SDHC card (2 Gb or smaller if possible). Scrambled screen means bootloader is not damaged, but flashing firmware went wrong and bootloader cannot read boot logo which is stored on NAND chip.

Tested yesterday with a 1Gb card. Used SDTool (u-boot-aml-ucl.bin used in SDTool has to be from official firmware right?) then unziped files to card.
reset+boot and same problem with TV-OUT scrambled. I really got to connect the box toa HDMI screen so I can see what's going on...

1. Download your firmware files (RAR archive) and unpack all files to root of your sdcard
2. Insert your sdcard in your box
3. Start Upgrade application on your device and choose Local Upgrade
4. Select file update.zip and on next screen select Reboot And Install Package
5. After upgrade is completed you will be back to Android Recovery System. You might see some errors such as invalid parameter or error writing mac address. Ignore that, just unplug your device from power and plug it back in to boot Android (first boot takes some time)

After Step 4 has my device rebooted and hung at A9 screen. I waited 10 minutes and i unplug it from power and plug it back.
